Went for bags of goals with my attack, not sure how Hitzfield will line up the front 3, only really Maradonna being a certain.Could see any combination of Shearer,Klinsmann,Hughes, Cantona and Zsengeller, who I threw in to have a few older players in the squad. Never heard of him before this draft but apparently scored 387 goals in 325 appearances so should be decent at least.

Nah, always had him down for R5. Fullbacks were my critical priority, just look at Pep's misery and investment in them.This is what I told alto when we picked him..
Got Figo instead. Would have preferred Stoichkov, but no biggie. At that point I was more miffed about Cannavaro than Stoichkov.
The thing in looking most forward to is who gets all the end of season awards, FIFA world player of the year, league IX and all that.
So what happens now?
When do we get the season standing updates?
When do we get the season standing updates?
Starts on Monday. Onenil has a wedding and we rushed it too much.
#priorities?
You never know how these things pan out.No
Puskas you knob.Littbarski? Who else?
And Figueroa, Deyna... Zoff I dodged a bullet though as I didn't know about FM now having sweeper keepers.
Oh FFS!I've seen this a few times now that would be the league 9
I swear I'm not dyslexic I feel this is going to be a really strong team right out of the gate, with everyone already well developed and playing at a very high level. Only Ferdinand, Mihajlovic, and Hagi have significant development yet to go (based on ages).
Then I have some serious back up and young talent:
And then two quality utility players in Petschovski, and Amancio. Plus my guilty pleasure and wildcard, Alvaro Recoba. Who I think will be amazing.
It's a carefully curated squad, built according to the tactical preferences of the manager. Therefore, I fully expect Cappello to do something completely different, and promptly get us relegated in the first season.

actually burst out laughing at that!
Because we all know that is exactly what most of our managers are going to do. Te hours of research, and weeks of dedication to build that squad, effectively eviscerated within an hour of simulation. He'll probably sell Neymar and sign Bebe from Spontaneous.
In the other draft that went on with current players quite a few of the managers have sold loads of their squad and decided not to replace them
Great. Wish we could've locked them in permanently.
It's part of the fun.
Us lot running summer transfer windows would have been great though!
Iniesta as an inside left?
Sure, his stats make me think he can also play as a striker or a right-back
To be honest, from what I've heard about FM, he may well end up as a RB?Sure, his stats make me think he can also play as a striker or a right-back
I was hoping Neuer would be useful as a sweeper keeper but he'll probably play right wing and nudge Garrincha to the bench?
Look forward to this kicking off tomorrow! As long as I'm not bottom 5 of the title odds I'll be happy!
To be honest, this is what the world has been waiting for? Screw the Premier League.,.. small time that.
If we get half the excitement from this that I've had from the opening weekend without us even playing I'll be buzzing!
Is there a mid season transfer window?
How do transfer work?
How do transfer work?
I asked about transfers a bit ago .... think automated.
How is that an Ancelotti side?
I can't believe you took Littbarski to play him on the inside of Iniesta. Or Deyna to anchor the midfield.

4-1-2-3
Looks like 0-7-3 to me
In the mercato, I'm fine to sell you some players like Deyna and Littabarski. I hope FM will enable us to acquire Romario!
Won't be until tomorrow I still need finalize some DB things and then finish testing. My apologies I just returned home so a bit out of it at the moment
That's no worries mate looking forward to the initial update.
While @oneniltothearsenal gets over his wedding hangover ... "Players that nearly made the cut".
Clemence, Ray Kennedy, Luigi Meroni and the Muhren brothers (and not just because Arnold played for us for a bit at the end of his career). While my team selection may not show it, I DID do a little bit of research and found a story about Gerrie Muhren playing for Ajax ....
This in the middle of a European match, a semi-final, away to Real Madrid..... nice. That was some Ajax team.

Yeah, it was a lovely moment, one of the most iconic ones in the history of football. Like Carlos Alberto goal signified the victory of Joga Bonito over catenaccio, this was the moment that Ajax team became the most important team in the world.
Gerrie was some player, I think he actually scored a winner in the game (or maybe in the second game of the tie)
I still can't figure out how to change team colors so if @Macern @spontaneus1 @RedTiger have any ideas let me know otherwise you will all be the same colors. Sorry
Aye, some display of dominance/show-boating given the sheer magnitude of the occasion and of course, the opponents.
Other examples would be Der Kaiser and of course, Jim Baxter.
4.40
Beckenbauer doing keepy ups in a serious match before it was cool (Muhren against Real being the famous one or Baxter who did it before against England in a friendly), and the score was 1-1 with Bayern hardly dominating
